  • C1- Atoms, elements and compounds
    • Atoms
      • Building blocks of all matter
        • Everything is made out of atoms.
      • Smallest particle of an element.
      • If a solid, liquid or gas is made up of only ONE TYPE of ATOM, we say it is an element.
        • Elements
          • Metal elements are on the LEFT-hand side of the periodic table.
          • When 2 elements join, the end is usually ___ide.
          • Isotopes are forms of an element that have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons.
          • Realtive atomic mass
            • The number of times heavier an atom is than 1-12th of a Carbon-12 atom.
              • To calculate: total mass of atoms/ total number of atoms.
      • Relative charge and mass
        • Protons: Charge: +1 Mass: 1
        • Neutrons: Charge: 0 Mass: 1
        • Electrons: Charge: -1 Mass: 0.0005
        • Overall charge of an atom: neutral, no overall charge.
        • The nucleus contains most of the atom's mass.
    • Elements
      • Metal elements are on the LEFT-hand side of the periodic table.
      • When 2 elements join, the end is usually ___ide.
      • Isotopes are forms of an element that have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons.
      • Realtive atomic mass
        • The number of times heavier an atom is than 1-12th of a Carbon-12 atom.
          • To calculate: total mass of atoms/ total number of atoms.
    • Compunds
      • They are formed when 2 or more elements are chemically combined.
      • Elements and compunds are represented by chemical symbols.
        • When 3 or more elements combine and two of them are hydrogen and oxygen (OH), the name ends with hydroxide.
          • Potassium+ hydrogen+ oxygen--> Potassium hydroxide.
        • When 3 or more elements combine and one of them is oxygen, the ending is ___ate.
          • Calcium+oxygen+ carbon--> Calcium carbonate.
        • Balanced equations.
          • Mg+ O2-> MgO
            • 2Mg+O2-> 2MgO
          • Fe + Cl2-> FeCl3
            • 2Fe + 3Cl2-> 2FeCl3
          • Zn+HCl-> ZnCl2+ H2
            • Zn+2HCl->ZnCl2+H2
    • Mixtures
      • Consist of 2 or more substances not chemically combined together.
      • How can they be separated?
        • Filtration: Used to separate insoluable solids from liquids. Filter paper has small holes allowing small molecules and dissolved ions pass through, but not the undissolved solid.
        • Crystilisation/Evaporation: Produces solid crystals from a solution. When solution is warmed, some of the solvent evaporates leaving crystals behind.
